Some minutes: that's what I thought reasonable

Dithering: Imho some dithering methods work only with 1-bit palette or maybe 4 colors CharMode. Floyd Steinberg (IINM here, otherwise correct me) often betrays cheap converts lacking work before and after wiring like the shit sprinkles on left part of her face or in the shady corners.

Fire: probably the AI played through LN1 *smokebomb found* and thought "no smoke without fire" :D

It took less than 5 minutes. Zero pixels pushed.
Most of the 5 minutes was eaten up by Mufflon convert process. My 15+ years old Laptop probably adding to the slow processing time.
The AI program took a minute or two to generate the source image.
I spent some seconds making use of the Mufflon adjustment options as I wanted more black in the image, as the initial default settings convert looked too bright. Finally I had to bring up CML to turn the Mufflon file into an .exe

Quite why the AI added an explossion to the background remains a mystery. Maybe AI associates Ninja's with fire?
The AI's idea of a Ninja is different to my idea of a typical Ninja. I guess we all have our own ideals ^_^

ws: You need the new Mufflon build from the SVN, it is much better and more versatile for converting truecolor images. It also has error diffusion/floyd steinberg dithering (as seen here) instead of pattern dither!

obviously i had been checking out mufflon today, too. but somehow the dithering is somehow very dissatisfying compared to retropixels (which surely is focused on multicolour and has a whole other set of restrictions), but - for a good NUFLI conversion, it seems one needs a very potent input image. Optimized prompts required.

Looks interesting. The black dither is a little too conspicuous, in my opinion, but it's bearable. I can also imagine a good MUIFLI, created from this image-template. Link to this template maybe?

@"100% Convert on a Tuesday Evening ^_^"

Don't tell me this took an "evening".

I've got very little experience with AI gfx. But if we take mere pre-ChatGPT-wiring, well, in this quality (no human touch/overhauling visible), if you don't count how long you googled for Scarlett Johansson (RRR, but what's she gotta do with Ninjas, I don't get it) and some fire background, inlcuding cropping, scaling and feeding any converter with this and tweak parameters, shouldn't have taken much longer than 15 min

PS: dump that AI, her gear looks not Ninja at all :)
